Great read here by @norlander.bsky.social
In May, New Haven raised $9 million in 18 days and beat the buzzer to join D-I. Its home gym seats 867 people.

On Saturday, it hosted a Big Ten team.

Here's the story of why and how it happened.

"There's some coaches said to me, including coaches in the Big Ten, 'Are you crazy?' But yeah, I am."
How a team in its first year in Division I got a Big Ten program to play a game at its 867-seat arena
New Haven's gym has an official capacity of only 867, and on Saturday, it pulled off a coup: playing host to a Big Ten program

Great article. What a wild week for those staffs.
Event production is such an important part of a game experience. Makes me think back to my time with the Westchester Knicks and New York Liberty EP team working in the bowels of the Westchester County Center.
Jhoan Duran is one of the best ninth-inning men in baseball, and his entrance in Minnesota became part of his ethos.

The Phillies had 36 hours to recreate his entrance. And it manifested in an unforgettable moment: http://dlvr.it/TMGsjT

The 8th inning of this Reds-Braves game is absolutely bonkers. Went from tied at 3 to tied at 11 thanks to a pair of 8-spots. Like what?!?!? #MLB
